Elián;
He licks the curve of my neck, and a shiver runs through me as I exhale.
Then I feel it. The excitement between my legs. My growing erection…
Why… why is my body reacting like this? I'm in danger, and I'm getting aroused?!
My hands fly to his shoulders when he suddenly begins to suck on my skin.
"A…Alpha Koda, what are you doing??" I stutter in panic, but he ignores me. Wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling closer to himself as he sucks more intently.
Surprisingly, it's not painful… It's a mixture of pleasure and pain. A feeling that only increases blood flow to my third leg.
Why does the bottom of my stomach suddenly feel so warm?
"Do you feel that?" Koda's husky voice suddenly whispers, and I swallow.
"F…feel what?"
"That warm feeling at the bottom of your stomach?" He questions, and my heart skips a beat. How does he know about that??
"That's your womb… aching to carry little cubs…" He replies, and I freeze. "Your body is responding to the touch of an Alpha… Yet you say you're not an omega?" He adds, before gently biting my ear lobe, and I draw a long, shaky breath.
I watch with wide eyes as he pulls away from me, and truly, I feel the heat at the bottom of my stomach increase.
"We won't touch you till you're ready. But I must advise you to make up your mind fast. You'll go into heat soon. I can feel it… And then neither you nor we would be able to hold back." He whispers with his breath fanning my face.
Despite how low his voice is, I can hear the strain in it. Like right now, it's taking everything in him not to pin me against this bed and do all kinds of things to me.
Is it weird that I might not want to stop him if he tries?
I blink at him in silence, and then he plants a soft, delicate kiss on my lips. A kiss that causes my heart to explode into flower petals in my chest.
"I'm sorry. I've probably rattled you." He whispers, and I hold my breath.
"It's just really hard to resist your pheromones. You smell so good…"He adds, and I gulp.
I have pheromones?
"You should get some rest. I'll send the maids to bathe you and get you fed. Father would like to see you tonight, so you should be in good shape." He speaks again before pulling away, and he stands up.
He flashes me one more warm smile before turning his back on me.
"Welcome to your new life, Elian." He says casually as he walks out of the room, and when the door closes behind him, I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.
What just happened?
I should be scared. I should be panicking. I mean, I have so many questions.
But instead…why… why do I want him to come back and finish what he started?
What is wrong with me?
Am I truly an Omega craving an Alpha?
Did this world do something to me??
I stare at the shut door in silence for a while. Too frozen to move.
There's no thought in my head. Nothing. Almost like my mind is too scared to conjure up something for me to ponder on.
My gaze finally shifts, breaking through the fog in my mind. And only then do I notice this room and its aesthetics. The walls are powder blue, and on the right side of the door, against the wall, is a medium-sized bookshelf. A shelf packed full with rows upon rows of colourful books.
There are two massive, arched windows on both sides of the room. Both veiled by delicate white curtains that carry softly in the wind. The furniture is all white. The little chair and table in front of the shelf, the rug under the table, and the flower vase on the table…
This room looks like something out of a fancy fantasy novel. The kind I might have read when I was much younger.
Up in the middle of the ceiling is a beautiful, crystal chandelier. The ceiling has been painted to look like the sky… with small birds flying by at one corner. The space is beautiful… gives a peaceful vibe, even.
An aura I am choosing to lean into for the sake of my sanity.
On the far end of the left side of the room is a massive mirror, and I realise that I haven't laid eyes on myself.
I feel the same… but what if I'm in someone else's body? What if… What if something about my appearance makes Koda think I'm an Omega?
I crawl out of the massive bed and wrap the thick, white duvet around myself. A cold sensation carries through my body as my bare feet touch the ground, and I savour the feeling just for a little while.
I move over to the mirror, with what's left of the duvet dragging on the floor behind me, and when I get in front of the mirror, the first thing I see is that unmistakable feature of mine.
Those things that got me bullied throughout high school, so much so I forced myself to start wearing contact lenses. My parents wouldn't get them for me, so I bought them.
Mind you, as a broke kid, I could only afford cheap ones, and they almost cost me my eyes.
Confining me to glasses. However, right now, I can see clearly.
That's true! Since I woke up, I've been able to see clearly without my glasses. Normally, everything is blurry without them, but right now, I can see crystal clear.
I can see clearly enough to notice every single detail of my bright, blood red eyes… the texture of my skin, and… the mild exhaustion in my eyes. I take my hands up to my face, and my heart sinks as I stare at my reflection.
It's me…
Same cheekbones. Same short, brown hair. Same faint scar under my lip. The things that made me 'me'… are still here. It's really me.
Should I be happy about that or not? Seeing my reflection proves that it's really me in this mess. Not someone else. Not some dream.
I'm in a strange place with animal-human people… what about my home? Would mom and Dad have known about my accident by now? Would they care? Are they looking for me?
I stare at my frail form, and let the duvet fall off my body. I may be malnourished from being unconscious for days, but my skin looks perfect.
There are no scars, no stitches, no nothing. I turn to my side, and my back, carefully inspecting myself with my eyes, but I see no cause for alarm.
I face the mirror properly this time, and put my hands to my stomach. I caress the bottom of it, where it feels oddly warm, and my brows knot.
Why does it feel that way? It's never felt like that before… Koda's words flow back into my mind, and I swallow.
"That's your womb… aching to carry little cubs…"
I quickly take my hands away from my stomach in fear, and then I hear footsteps, right outside the door... Drawing closer. Who could it be?
Could Koda be coming back, or his brothers? Whoever's coming, I don't want them finding me naked in front of a mirror.
I quickly grab the duvet, wrap it around myself, rush back to the bed, and hop on it. I get into a sitting position right before I hear a knock on the door, and I straighten myself.
"C…coming in…" I call, and the door slowly opens.
A young lady with auburn hair walks in, and my eyes instantly dart up to the brown rabbit ears hanging casually on her head.
She's in a simple yellow milk maiden dress, has bright brown eyes, and chubby cheeks.
"Good morning, Master Elian. I'm Alana. Your maid. I've been appointed by Alpha Koda to provide you with whatever you need." She says with a curt smile and a certain warmth to her voice. However, I raise a brow.
Master Elian?!
I'm no master! I'm a captive! Calling me 'Master Elian' doesn't make the crime of buying a person Less of a crime!
"Would you like a shower first, or have breakfast?" She continues, and I blink at her. At the mention of food, my stomach lets out a loud, long rumble.
I feel my cheeks heat up in embarrassment, and the lady before me simply smiles back.
"Would that be breakfast first, then?" She questions, and I swallow with a nod. She nods back and turns around.
My eyes instantly dart to her lower back. Right above her bum is a small, fluffy rabbit tail, sticking out of her dress. Did she have to cut a hole in her dress for it?
I watch as the fluffy white tail twitches as she moves, and a thought comes to mind.
Let me guess. She belongs to the rabbit clan…
whatever that means…
She then claps, and suddenly, about five maids walk into the room pushing carts carrying food. My eyes widen at the sight of them. How many people does it take to serve one person breakfast?
